Text effect challenge

[angelize]

This challenge is simple, using the text shapes I've provided create a text effect and in clear easy to follow steps tell us how you did it. with all the talent and creativity on Talkgraphics this thread could be come a great resource! To start things off I've come up with an extruded lava effect. I've also included the .xar file of my effect which may be easier to read and handy to pull apart for closer inspection
